I think Drew needs to modify the Fark filters to automatically change the word "hipster" into something more reflective of the vast majority of people who choose to use that term on here, something that accurately captures their general ignorance, laziness, and slavering desire to get in a meme wherever they can, regardless of its accuracy. I'm not exactly sure of what that might be, but I'm sure there's something.

On topic, I don't get to cook this year but I wanted to dry brine, spatchcock my turkey after reading a technique on Serious Eats. Of course I know my family would freak out because the turkey didn't look like a Norman Rockwell painting. If a dish is universally accepted as perfect than I can see not messing with it or trying a second version. I can't see why tradition should be slavishly followed on a holiday that is all about food.

I consider myself able to easily tell which food is good and which is not just by smelling it. I am much more critical of restaurant food than most professional critics. Thanksgiving is my favorite day of the year. But this year I am staying home and making garlic mashed red potatoes with green beans and chips and salsa. Too lazy to cook anything else.

I am seriously considering laying off the booze this year in order to stuff more food in my face hole. This plan could be derailed by how my family behaves meeting the girlfriend's family for the first time.

How hipster my food is? My turkey wears a fedora and smokes a tobacco pipe. My cranberry sauce was raised by free range Indonesian picts. And my submitter needs to look up an obscure turn of phrase called 'beating a dead horse' it was coined by someone you've never heard of.

Worst turkey I ever made was by using a brine recipe that a co-worker recommended. Sixteen ingredients for a damn brine, and the turkey tasted like oranges. Yuck. Too complicated for what's supposed to be a simple, traditional bird. Turkey should be moist and taste like turkey, dammit.

/Better brine: 1/4 salt, 1/2 cup sugar dissolved in enough water to cover the bird. Soak overnight in the fridge, and keep a pan of water in the oven with the bird.

Well, DUH Thanksgiving is boring to foodies and critics: it's all about tradition. *Current* Traditional Thanksgiving is what our grandparents were eating for Thanksgiving in the 50's-60's. You're not allowed to innovate. I mean hell, my family just about had a fit when my mom tried changing the pumpkin pie recipe to add some orange zest to the filling.

Thanksgiving ISN'T about culinary pleasure. It's about getting extended families who secretly hate eachother together at the same table, making everyone suffer through the same bland food, and then hoping against hope that no one brings up sex, politics, or religion at the table. THEN it's about drinking heavily when someone inevitably does.

All of these things.

Pro-hipster backlash? Surprised it didn't come sooner, what with the insecurity that oozes from them.
